For what? Your question was cut off.
Use for what?
Please, would you repost your question. I do believe it was cut off. We can help you so much better if we know all that you need. Thank you!
The right paint depends on what you're painting, where it is and how much surface prep is needed. Interior or exterior? Is the item in question heavily used or not? In the kitchen/bathroom or elsewhere? The answers to those questions will help you figure out what you need.
areas that get a lot of wear/tear ( bathrooms, kitchen cupboards, etc ) I prefer a gloss or at least a semi-gloss latex for indoor use; outdoors, an oil base paint; for furniture, any of the 'trendy' paints ( chalk, milk, etc.) or a water base latex/acrylic with a satin poly sealer. COLOR is your choice, but the chemical composition of the paint and the correct preparation of the surface to be painted will assure you a good end result.
